Well, leaving aside what one thinks of patents and copyrights - a 
"government protected monopoly" is EXACTLY what a patent is, by definition:

"To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for 
limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their 
respective Writings and Discoveries;"

Or do you have some different definition of "exclusive Right?"

But we digress.
